Because things aren't static. You start to be taken down, sometimes you go for the guillotine when you feel you're going to end up on your back anyway. You've watched enough MMA to realize this, right? Or is your assertion that Conor now fancies himself a submission guy who wants to go for chokes that end up with him on his back? I mean...c'mon man.
And yes, someone objectively observing would absolutely come to the conclusion after these last two fights between these two guys that Dustin is the better fighter. Busting him up and stopping him, then clearly winning Rd 1 in pretty dominant fashion even before the injury. It's weird...this is what happened. We all saw it...how is it not objectioto say Dustin looks like the better fighter??
As for my comment about you, that's what it seems like. I'm not the only one who said so. I don't know it for a fact but that's the appearance you're giving. You don't seem to want to acknowledge that Dustin has clearly looked better than Conor in both of their last two fights. Not sure why.
Alot of people saying the same thing doesn't make it objective. if you were objective you would know that bc the entire reason we can make money from gambling on mma is that perceptions don't always correspond to reality.
It could be that he went for the guillotine bc he felt he would be taken down anyway, but cant know that from observation. Mcsnapper did not get lifted off his feet, he was he tried applying the choke a couple of times prior to falling back with it. He even tried it when he was on the ground.
As you say, things are not static in MMA. Can you not imagine he practised guillotines bc he knew dusty was going to shoot and decided to go for it bc he thought he had a good grip.
It could be bc he knew his foot was bust already or what you said, but there is nothing you can observe that backs up that assertion. Its just shit in your head. Not saying its wrong, but have no idea whether you are right or not.
What I saw was the start of an amazing fight. Conor winning the early exchanges. Then Dusty rattling Conor with a strike that made him clinch, which led to Conor making a monumental blunder of falling back for the guillotine. He then got dominated on the ground, though it was not all one-way traffic. When he got up he looked fresh. Even when he fell down from the broken leg and Dusty swarmed him, as soon a the bell sounded he was telling Herb that something was wrong with his leg.
He didn't look tired, nor did he seem to suffer much from the GnP.
I was hyped for the next round. I honestly cannot say how the fight would have gone until we saw Conor's TDD tested at least one or 2 more times.
I am just disappointed. It was a perfect set-up for a fight between high-level LWs, but there is no conclusion here for me.
